The Challenge

Auditing New York State Court (NYSCEF) cases meant opening each case, deciding which filings mattered and reading scanned legal PDFs by hand. The volume made manual review slow and error prone.

The Solution

  • Automated navigation of NYSCEF case records
  • Applied conditional logic so only the relevant PDF filings are downloaded
  • Ran OCR on scanned legal documents to extract their text
  • Parsed the extracted text into structured fields for review

The Results

  • Unlimited case records processed end to end
  • Scanned legal documents turned into searchable, structured data
  • Hours of manual document review removed from the workflow

Tech Stack

  • Python
  • OCR
  • PDF parsing
